This round white sticker shows a twin-engine turboprop banking across the center, with Transkei Airways arched above in green and a small leaf-like emblem between the words. Below, green and maroon bands curve around the slogan Growing With The Traffic. Transkei was a territory in South Africa's Eastern Cape whose capital, Umtata, is today called Mthatha, and this airline carried its name. Little has been published about the carrier itself, which makes its stickers a rare survivor of a small regional operation. Passengers were given stickers like this to put on their bags.
The bag is made from 10-ounce canvas of 80% recycled cotton and 20% cotton. The recycled fibers are collected from garment-cutting waste and then intertwined with cotton for added strength and durability. Self-fabric handles. Dimensions: 15.75" h x 15.25" w; approx. 240 cubic inches.
